Häderlisbrücke

The beautiful stone arch bridge lies deep in the Reuss valley on Gotthardstrasse. The construction, originally from the 17th century, was destroyed in a flood in 1987. Since the Häderlis Bridge is an important testimony to the history of the Urn Valley, it was rebuilt true to the original.

The Häderlis Bridge with 3 arches above Göschen is a masterpiece of historical bridge construction. Already in 1470 two crossings over the raging Reuss river are mentioned, in any case from 1496 on one finds the term "Häderlisbrücke". A storm swept away the historic bridge in 1987, but it was rebuilt in 1991 based on the historical model, great!

The Häderlis Bridge was built in 1649 over the Reuss in Schöllenen.
It was an important bridge to enable the transport of mail over the Gotthard.
